However it addresses the problem of… dg.dataProvider = xmlDataSource.data-one; And recommends… dg.dataProvider = xmlDataSource["data-one"]; But in my problem, I do not explicitly state a dash in my syntax. I expanded my experiment a little and defined report to be var report : XML = <dls-configuration><system><product-name></product-name></system>………</dls-configuration> and tried var n1 : XML = report.system["product-name"] as XML; and n1 is null. Still confused. -S From:flexcod...@yahoogro ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@ yahoogroups. com] On Behalf Of claudiu ursica Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 2:09 PM To: flexcod...@yahoogro ups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] quick XML question I think the - <dls-configuration> is the issue. There is a solution for this but i cannot remember where i read about it. Do some google-ing.. .

I can’t figure out what I am doing differently with the above. Any help showing me the obvious is appreciated. -Steve
